Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

but this command gives me error that file system 'ntfs' not found. I hv given ntfs in capitals also but error was same. tell me how can I access windows files on Linux

True. You're probably doing nothing wrong (it is not written in capitals, it's correct when written as 'ntfs'); it's just that the Fedora stock kernel, at least at the moment, does not include ntfs read support. You'll have to either find a kernel that has it built in/as a module, or recompile the kernel yourself to add ntfs support. Another option is something like Captive or Fuse (if I remember correctly) which work on i386 (not on 64-bit I suppose), and provide ntfs read+write support; the problem is just that their write support is bad (most of writing/deleting will fail) so I wouldn't count on them. Better just recompile the kernel, if Fedora doesn't provide a stock one with ntfs support built in.

I was also surprised to see that Fedora does not ship with ntfs support, because many other big distributions do.
